A Plague Tale: Requiem

A Plague Tale: Requiem is Asobo Studio's stunning sequel to their surprise 2019 hit — and it surpasses its predecessor in every conceivable dimension. Continuing the story of Amicia and Hugo de Rune, still hunted by the Inquisition and still struggling to control the dark power of the Macula coursing through Hugo's blood, Requiem takes the pair across a breathtakingly beautiful Mediterranean landscape as they search for a cure. The scale increase is extraordinary: where Innocence was a linear intimate journey, Requiem opens into sweeping vistas, massive rat swarms of thousands rendered simultaneously, and environments of jaw-dropping beauty ranging from sun-drenched island coasts to rat-flooded ruins. The emotional core — the bond between Amicia and Hugo, the sacrifice of love — is delivered with extraordinary performances and writing. A Plague Tale: Requiem is one of the most visually impressive and emotionally affecting games of its generation.
